I am the job superintendent at the new industrial plant being built. When can I call for and what do I need to get my Certificate of Occupancy?
Please do not call until all of the following is completed:
- Electricity is on the building
- All exit and emergency lights are installed and tested
- All fire extinguishers are proper size, type and properly mounted
- Address posted (4" numbers – contrasting background)
- Fire alarm, sprinklers, standpipes, fire pumps and suppression systems ready for final inspection
- Have owners name and phone number
- If building is to be occupied, have occupant name, phone numbers and at least 2 emergency contacts with phone numbers
- If building is equipped with a fire alarm system, it must be monitored and a Knox Box is to be installed (Order forms are to be obtained from the Fire Marshal’s Office)
All systems must pass inspection before a final building inspection will be scheduled.
